Block Protocol

Install the Block Protocol plugin to access an ever-growing library of high-quality blocks within WordPress. Discover and use new blocks when you need them, at the point of insertion, directly from within the WordPress editor. No more installing new plugins to get more blocks.

• Blocks that provide access to external services including OpenAI and Mapbox, without needing to sign up for these separately
• Structured data blocks with SEO benefits for your website, helping you rank more highly in Google and Bing (e.g. the Address and How-to blocks)
• Interactive blocks such as the drawing and countdown timer blocks
• "Traditional" content management blocks such as callouts, tables, headings, images, and quotes

You can also build your own block for the Block Protocol without any PHP, and publish it instantly. To build a block, check out the developer docs.
